Dear Sir: 

I have the honor to present to you a report of a 
Committee which has been investigating the proposi- 
tion of enlarged facilities for the McKinley Manual 
Training School, which report is in the nature of a pe- 
tition for additional facilities. 

The Committee wishes your hearty cooperation and 
support in this matter, and will appreciate anything 
which you are able to do in support of its petition. 

Thanking you in advance for any efforts which you 
may put forth in connection with this project, I am 

Very truly yours, 



&rvrv&->~*^

To The; Board op 4 Education, 

Public Schools of the District of Columbia, 

Franklin School Building, 

Washington, D. C. 

Members of 1 the: Board : 

statement Your petitioner, a Committee of the Student Body, the 

of Case Alumni Association, and the Faculty of McKinley 

Manual Training School respectfully request your 
earnest consideration to its plea for additional facilities for the Mc- 
Kinley Manual Training School, and for your information cite herein 
certain facts in support of that plea. 



History 

Pievioas j^ h as been evident for a number of years that the 

Efforts present facilities of the McKinley Manual Training 

School are inadequate and previous efforts have been 
made to acquaint the proper bodies with existing conditions. Notable 
among these efforts have been the attempts of the General Organiza- 
tion (the student governing body), and the Faculty. These two bodies 
were successful enough to have the matter brought to the attention of 
the District Committee of the House of Representatives only to be 
turned down on the score of limited appropriations. 

Request of Th e conditions at the School have gradually become 

Principal worse, however, and for some time past an enroll- 

ment of 1,300 pupils has been inconveniently accomo- 
dated by facilities whose normal capacity is but 1,000. The Principal, 
realizing that there was urgent need for immediate improvement has 
requested in a letter to the Board that careful consideration be given 
an appropriation of at least $500,000 for the McKinley Manual Train- 
ing School to provide for an addition to include a gymnasium and an 
adequate assembly hall. 

Appointment Coincident with this request, the Principal appointed 

of committee a committee headed by Mr. L. W. Mattern, to prepare 
pertinent data which would be available for the infor- 
mation of the Board of Education, the District Commissioners, Mem- 
bers of Congress, and other interested persons or public bodies ; also 
to actively campaign for the needed improvements. 

[5] 



Meetings of fo date, this Committee, composed of fifteen repre- 

committee sentatives of the Student Body, the Alumni Associa- 

tion, and the Faculty has held frequent meetings and 
discussed the ways and means of properly fulfilling the duties outlined 
by the Principal. 

cooperation j n a u ft s deliberations, the Committee has realized 

with Board the difficult problems confronting the Board of Edu- 

of Education cation in providing adequate school facilities in the 

District and it is in the spirit of general helpfulness 
and cooperation rather than selfishness for McKinley that it has 
functioned. It has proceeded on the theory that great improvements 
are needed for the District schools, and that if it helped solve the 
problems of rehabilitation of McKinley, it would be lightening one 
of the Board's numerous difficult tasks, and it believes no one is better 
able to throw light on this particular problem than the Alumni and 
the Faculty of the School. It is also proceeding on the theory of 
meeting the issue of inadequacy squarely and not being influenced by 
the spirit of "How much can we get", but rather "What does the 
School need". 

inadequacy for ffe Committee has concluded that the present facili- 
schooi Purposes f-j es f ^he School are wholly inadequate and unsuitable 
for the proper functioning, not only as a high school, 
but as a school of any character. 

Recommendations j n brief, the Committee recommends — 

i. An addition to the existing buildings, and 

2. The purchase of an adjoining site for an athletic field and com- 
munity play-ground. 

General lay-out These recommendations are set forth in detail in the 
Exhibit "B" following pages, but attention is first directed to the 

plate next presented (Exhibit B), showing a gen- 
eral lay-out of the proposed enlargement of the existing facilities of 
the School. 



Recommendations 



Addition to The Committee recommends an ADDITION TO 

present Building T h£ EXISTING STRUCTURE, to be built at once, 
which will provide for the present needs and the 
future development of the School. This addition should be planned 
with the benefit of all the forethought and Architectural ability avail- 
able and with the hearty cooperation of those intimately in touch with 
the present needs — the Faculty. 

The new addition should represent ample provision for the future, 
not be merely a temporary makeshift. It should include —

A — Adequate Class Rooms 

class Booms More class room space is urgently needed inasmuch 

as under the prevailing conditions it has been neces- 
sary to arrange staggered hours for different classes in order to 
accomodate the present student body. 

Freshman class jt [ s proposed by your Board to have the entire incom- 
Faii of 1920 j n g Freshman Class in the Fall of 1920 begin their 

high school career in the Old Central High School 
building merely to alleviate the crowded conditions current at McKin- 
ley. This may or may not be in accord with the growth of the so- 
called Junior High School, but the principle is at least forced upon 
McKinley before the natural development of the former, for no other 
reason than that the facilities of the School are inadequate. The 
Board, therefore, by this action commits itself to the acknowledgment 
of the primary premise of the Committee's argument. 

Action by The Committee, of course, recognizes that some 

Board Necessary radical action by your Board was necessary to provide 
for the incoming class, but at the same time wishes to 
call attention to the undesirability of such a move and focus attention 
on the needs for permanent remedies rather than temporary. 

Additional class f^Q proposed addition to the school, the shape and 
Rooms Proposed details of which are of course subject to revision and 
more elaborate development, provide enough space for 
from twelve to fifteen more class rooms or from four hundred and 
twenty to five hundred and twenty-five additional pupils. 

Growth of The chart opposite, (Exhibit C), clearly illustrates the 

the school growth of McKinley and serves as a guide to its 

future development. From this will be noted the 
rapid and constantly increasing growth of McKinley up to the year 
1916, at which time the New Central with its GYMNASIUM, SWIM- 
MING POOL, STADIUM, and AUDITORIUM, so much heralded, 
appealed to many who would otherwise have entered McKinley, and 
it is for this reason that the drop in the curve occurs. We are firmly 
convinced that the growth of McKinley will continue, inasmuch as 
the growing importance of Technical Education is assured, and plead 
that there be provided enough class rooms to properly accomodate the 
enrollment of the School. 

B — Gymnasium 

Gymnasium The Committee is firmly convinced of' the necessity 

for a suitable gymnasium for the boys and girls. 

physical Development Th e proposition that bodily development is an 
Essential to Mental essential adjunct to mental development has been 
Development proved beyond the possibility of contradiction, 

therefore will not be discussed, but mentioned lest 
it be overlooked in the study of the needs of the school.

Few schools There are remarkably few secondary schools of the 

without Gym. rank and size of McKinley in the United States not 
equipped with a gymnasium. There is not a single 
high school in the District, other than McKinley, either white or col- 
ored, which has not either a gymnasium nor a gymnasium planned as 
part of its equipment. This is discrimination, an Un-American prin- 
ciple, which the Committee knows is not intentional on the part of the 
Board or Congress and awaits only the occasion to be remedied. 

Athletes Pay ft i s true the School has an enviable record in athletics 

to Practise an( j S p rts, but this record has been achieved only by 

the hardest kind of struggle. McKinley won the 
Inter-scholastic Championship in Basketball, both in 1919 and 1920, 
but every member of the Team and every member of the Squad was 
obliged to pay, from his own funds, the dues of a half-membership in 
the Young Men's Christian Association (the Student Government 
paying the other half) for the privilege of using the Y. M. C. A. 
gymnasium to practise. The boys also were obliged to pay their car 
fare to and from the gym. We frankly ask the Board — "How long 
is such injustice to continue?" 

swimming q^e gymnasium should include a suitable modern 

p ° o1 swimming pool with adequate shower and locker 

facilities. The advantage of a swimming pool for 
physical exercise and relaxation is unquestioned. 

suspended Another improvement which the gymnasium should 

Tra * k include in its equipment is a suspended running track, 

which would allow a much more efficient utilization 
of the available floor area than a track on the floor of the building. 



C — Auditorium 

capacity y\ n appropriate auditorium, capable of seating not less 

1600 than 1,600 persons should be provided in the new 

addition. 

inadequacy ffrg present poorly ventilated auditorium has a capac- 

of Present ^y f somewhat less than 600 persons, and when the 

Assembly Hail enrollment of the School, approximately 1,300 stu- 
dents, is considered, the evidence of' inadequacy is 
conclusive. The desirability of seating the entire student body at one 
time is clearly apparent, particularly on occasions of national celebra- 
tions, when public speakers visit the School. A general assembly of 
the entire student body at present is a physical impossibility, and but 
less than half may enjoy the privilege of hearing and witnessing what 
takes place. 

[10] 



Boilers Another feature in the consideration of the undesir- 

Directiy Under ability of the present assembly hall is its location 
Assembly Haii immediately oyer the high pressure boilers supplying 
heat and power to the building. It is realized that 
there is no immediate danger accruing from this situation, but where 
the lives of a large number of persons are concerned, it is wise to pro- 
vide a factor of safety sufficiently high to preclude even the slightest 
possibility of such an occurrence as an accident to one of the boilers 
might entail. The highest factor can of course best be obtained by 
the complete removal of the assembly hall to a new location. The 
proposed addition would provide that location and at the same time 
leave the present assembly hall available for use as a girls' gymnasium. 

use of Auditor- An auditorium, as proposed, could be available for 
ium as Com- community use and in the capacity of a community 
mnnity Center center would be serving an extremely helpful purpose. 

Sch001 Another prime use of such a gathering place is its 

Dramatics availability for school dramatics. Aside from the 

financial benefits derived from school theatricals 
(which are not to be overlooked so far as they produce the needed 
revenue for school activities) the benefit derived by the student from 
participation in these theatrical undertakings is immeasurable in the 
development of personality and self confidence. 

Auditorium of As you may know, the students of McKinley produce 
central Used highly creditable dramatic performances, but are 

obliged to use the Central High School Auditorium 
to accomodate the large audiences which witness these productions. 
The audience of the Spring Play of 1920 was more than sufficient to 
fill the Central Auditorium two and one-half times. We believe the 
students of McKinley are entitled to their own theatrical facilities 
under the roof of the School. 

D — Drill Room and Armory 

Drm Room \ drill room and armory should be provided in the 

Necessary new addition for the use of the cadet corps on days 

when the weather makes outdoor drill prohibitive. 
These adjuncts could easily be provided in the basement of the Audi- 
torium and by the conversion of the present lunchroom. 

DriU ** At present, on days when the weather is inclement, it 

corridors } s necessary for the cadet companies to drill in nar- 

row, poorly ventilated corridors. There is not room 
enough for even the ordinary squad movements, and it is impossible 
to drill the cadets in other than the manual of arms. A drill room 
would allow freedom of movement and although it is recognized would 
not allow complete company maneuvers, the additional benefits to be 
derived from the provision of an indoor drill room are almost im- 
measurable. 

[11] 



Armory to The armory, of course, need not be separate from the 

Alleviate ^ r [\\ hall, but could be incorporated in one corner. 

crowded Th e convenience to the students of not being obliged 

Lochers t keep their guns in their lockers is a serious consid- 

eration, particularly in view of the present necessity of two students 
sharing one locker, which is almost an universal condition at the school 
and has been so for some time past. 

Rifle Range Provision f or a Rifle Range could also be incorporated 

in Drill Room j n fa e drill room, although, of course, it is more desir- 
able that other povision be made. 

£ — Lunch Room 

v«Btiiation The present lunch room is not of sufficient size nor 

properly equipped to efficiently accomodate the present 
enrollment of pupils. In addition it is poorly ventilated and results 
in permeating the entire school with the odor of cooking. This latter 
condition is particularly noticeable and obnoxious in the class rooms 
and in the corridors of the first floor. 

Roof Garden These evils could be remedied by locating the lunch 

i^nch Room room on the roof, making it somewhat in the nature 

of a roof garden lunch room — with adequate provision 
however, for comfort in cold and rainy weather. 

Cost of Addition 

cost Data f^e cost of the proposals outlined above has been 

given serious consideration. Data have been collected 
in the office of the Municipal Architect for the District of Columbia, 
and this information arranged in convenient form is shown on 
Exhibit "D". 

increase There are several interesting items on this Exhibit to 

iB Cost which attention is particularly directed, the first of 

over 1916 which is the item of total cost per cubic foot of space. 

It is seen that the new Central High School cost in 
1916, 21.3 cents, and the Dunbar (colored High School) built in 1916 
18.4 cents. The Municipal Architect stated that at prevailing market 
prices from 45 cents to 55 cents should be used in preparing estimates 
of costs of school buildings at the present time, and it is this latter 
figure which the Committee has used. 

comparison Another interesting feature is a comparison of the 

New central cubical contents, total cost, and number of rooms of 

a»d Dunbar t h e New Central and the Dunbar High Schools. The 

former with a cubic capicity of 5,712,462 erected at 
a total cost of $1,222,500 contained 50 actual class rooms. The latter,

however, with but 2,913,295 cubic feet was erected at a total cost of 
$533,000 at the same time as the New Central and provided 44 actual 
class rooms. It is seen from this comparison that with a cubical con- 
tent of slightly more than half that of New Central, erected at a cost 
less than half the cost of New Central, the Dunbar High School has 
only six less class rooms than the New Central High. 

Estimated The estimated cost of the proposed addition outlined 

cost of by ^e Committee is somewhat in the neighborhood of 

Addition $800,000 based on 55 cents per cubic foot. This esti- 

mate, of course, may be somewhat too large or it 
may be somewhat too small, but it is probably close enough to serve 
as a starting point in the consideration of the project. 

Expenditure The Committee is of the opinion that an expenditure 

justified f this amount will be justified by the good to the 

community and to the future students of McKinley. 



Athletic Field and Cummunity Play Ground 

Purchase The Committee recommends the purchase of an ad- 

of Athletic joining site for an athletic field and community play- 

Field ground. There is no real playground in the neigh- 

borhood of McKinley, and such a field would fill a 
long felt want. 

site for We recommend as the site for this field the half square 

FleId bounded by Q, R, Sixth, and Marion Streets on which 

are now built approximately sixty brick houses, some 
of which have colored tenants. The following plates (Exhibits 
"E" and "F") show the location of this property and the assessed 
value of the land and improvements for tax purposes. 

Cost The assessed value of that portion of the square de- 

sired is $148,219. This property would probably noc 
be sold for less than $250,000, therefore, aside from any consideration 
of salvage from the present buildings, the cost to acquire is approxi- 
mately this last named figure. 

Football A n athletic field as part of the school property pra- 

Field - viding a football field, a cinder track, tennis courts 

Track, Etc. an( j other special outdoor courts is highly desirable 

and we believe necessary. Of the enrollment of 1,300 
not less than 1,000 are boys, and the; present provision for physical 
exercise, the small lot back of the school, at a glance, is seen to be 
inadequate.

Conclusion 

The Committee is firmly convinced that the present 
facilities of the McKinley Manual Training School 
are unsuitable for the enrollment of the School. 

It believes further, that remedies of the nature pro- 
posed, should be effected without delay, and its mem- 
bers hereby pledge their hearty support to the obtain- 
ing of : 

i. Additional Class Rooms. 

2. An Auditorium. 

3. A Gymnasium. 

4. A properly equipped lunch room. 

5^ A drill room, armory and rifle range. 
6. An athletic field and community playground. 
And earnestly request the full cooperation of your 
Board. 



Meantime, since the Committee realizes that its pro- 
gram may not be carried out immediately, it recom- 
mends a thorough renovation of the present building, 

in order that the School "may present a more favorable appearance to 

visitors and a more pleasant aspect to the students.

ADDENDA 



Central 

Heating Plant 
Adjacent to 
McKinley 



Central Heating Plant 

The Committee has been impressed, in its studies, by 
the possibilities of a central heating plant adjacent to 
McKinley, which could serve heat and power, not only 
to McKinley, but to the Business High School, the old 
Central buildings, and the Grover Cleveland School. 



Economy of 
Operation 



The economy of operation of such a plant is clearly 
apparent, and it is unquestionably true that a great 
saving could be effected in the items of coal and 
salaries to fire-room attendants. 



saving f^ saving in space now occupied by furnaces and 

in space boilers is another item not to be overlooked. Particu- 

larly is this true in the Business High School where 
the problem of overcrowding is becoming more and more serious. 



Site for 
Plant 



An ideal site for a central heating power plant as dis- 
cussed by the Committee, is afforded by the small 
portion of Square 444, immediately adjoining the 

present lot back of McKinley, bounded on the East and South by 

Marion and Q Streets, respectively. 



Cost of The assessed value of the property above mentioned is 

Project less than $20,000. The cost of the plant itself, how- 

ever, is an item which the Committee did not investi- 
gate. It is evident though, that the initial cost would be considerable, 
but the annual saving, coupled with the other benefits to be derived, 
make the project attractive. 

Respectfully submitted, 




Chairman, Sub-Committee, Ways and Means.
